Biography
Miguel Malvar y Carpio was born in Santo Tomas, Batangas, Philippines on 27 September 1865, and he came from a wealthy family. He was family friends with Jose Rizal, and he joined the Katipunan before the Philippine Revolution. When the revolution broke out in August 1896, he rose from commanding 70 men to commanding all revolutionary forces in Batangas. He coordinated military offensives with Emilio Aguinaldo and Paciano Rizal, and he became a general after Edilberto Evangelista's death in battle. Malvar continued to rise in the ranks during the Philippine-American War, and his army took part in guerrilla warfare against the United States even after Aguinaldo's surrender; as such, he was the unofficial President of the Philippines from 1 April 1901 to 16 April 1902. He surrendered on 13 April 1902 and died in Manila in 1911 from liver failure.
